The Plane War had come to an end, but the age of war had only just begun.
Or rather, there had never been any so-called peaceful years. It was merely a transition from one age of war to another.
World War I, World War II, conflicts in border regions under the threat of superhumans, superhuman crises within cities, exploration wars to conquer foreign realms, and the Plane War that had just ended.
The other half of life was death, and the other side of living was war. So long as life still had desires, fighting and war were unlikely to ever truly cease.
Now, the Eastern Kingdom authorities, acting as "parents," had simply realized that they did not have the ability to protect everyone amid the chaotic multiverse. They could only start handing weapons to everyone and teach them to protect themselves through armed force.
"The prerequisite for banning guns and weapons nationwide is ensuring that gunfire outside cannot harm one's own citizens. If wolves, tigers, and leopards are everywhere, then naturally everyone needs to learn to carry a gun."

Faced with the young man's eloquent explanation, the guide Wang Sisi gave a silly smile, seemingly unable to understand.
Yet this made Lu PingAn smile as well, and he found himself thinking a little more highly of the girl.
How could someone favored by a demigod, someone who could study in a small town and easily get into Wanjing University, someone who could earn her own living expenses even amid heavy studies, possibly be stupid?
But Lu PingAn had seen plenty of clever people. Clever people who understood gains and losses, knew how to play dumb, had no great ambitions, and spent every day happily acting foolish—those were genuinely rare.
